Julia Roberts is terrified of rats

Being an actress is not without its dangers! The irresistible Julia Roberts would have to agree, she has just experienced terrible trauma whilst filming in New York.

During filming of the feature "Eat, Pray, Love", due to be released in 2011, the "Pretty Woman" had the fright of her life. Seeing a rat wandering very close to her, the horrified Julia let out a piercing scream. Totally hysterical, the unhappy actress subsequently couldn't stop jumping around nervously on the pavement, despite the fact that the large rodent had scurried away a while ago.

Whatever happens don't tell her that a giant rat measuring 82 centimetres long has just discovered; she would never sleep again!
